    Cooling of Kilrah

    Interesting! Couple suggestions: Area earth=area Kilrah = 5 10^8 km^2 Revise this way upwards? This oops this implies that large chunks of the crust are floating free with a section of mantle, effectively doubling or more the radiative surface. The starting temperature of Kilrah may...

    I have experienced Culinary Napalm

    Buffalo Wild Wings, Denver, habanero sauce and up. I stopped using habaneros in home cooking after I found out the hard way that five minutes of hand washing isn't enough to make it safe to take contacts out. :(

    ... There Was Wing Commander I (August 11, 2010)

    I bought that copy of PC gamer purely for this... and promptly lost the CD at a border crossing. Thank you for bringing it back!

    I am at once horrified and intrigued.

    Can this little thing jump?

    Or that you never saw fighters transit a jump already in space in WC3? You even got left behind if you weren't on the carrier by curfew a few times. (IIRC that happened in Prophecy as well)

    Help me decide!

    Standoff. Failing that, IV. The Darkening is far outside of what you've been playing that it should be taken care of after IV/Prophecy/Secret Ops, and enjoy the tweakiness that you can apply to it.

    WC4 difficulties

    Missiles seemed to be key. Use them liberally if you've got more than two ships against you but only fire when you know you'll hit... close-range up-tailpipe shots only on fast targets, and try to be inside 2000 or so against anything you shoot at. They're also great for things like...

    WC2: is it just me?

    Has anyone tried VirtualPC or VirtualBox with a DOS install? The system requirements for WC 1 and 2 are not any significant %age of what a modern or even near-modern computer has available - DOSBox may simply not be the ideal solution.

    Anyone there already has family (spouse + kids)?

    Hand the kid the joystick, critique the kid's flying style, wear a red cape and grow a mustache.

    This thread is about cars; if you fag it up I will delete you.

    Little constructive to add. Stock, replaced the exhaust with stock pipe, beat the shit out of it on crappy Canadian highways and it didn't so much as twitch (a THM400 pan can take 2 tons going 40MPH and barely scratch, it's pretty cool). Nothing worked besides the engine, transmission, lamps...

    Concordia and Yorktown

    Avenger has 4x1 hardpoints, salvo them all at once, 30 second mission?

    Silent Hunters

    That really is a fun game. Can't find my disks though. :( Tip for those pesky destroyers... on a convoy attack run, if you can get two of them relatively close with you in between, you can draw enough fire that misses that they will likely hit each other... and as soon as you crash dive, they...

    Battlecruisers vs. Fighters

    I'd imagine it has something to do with battlecruisers being much better at protecting themselves against the hordes of fighters filtering around/through the CAP.

    Fighter Design Inspiration

    The weapons deviate significantly from the RapierII. I guess that's why the issued execution orders for the entire development team.

    Piloting Flaw

    Relying almost solely on slashing attacks and high-deflection shooting. Standoff cured me of that.

    Standoff needs testers

    I can throw in part of this and next weekends, and probably some time during the week.
